At this points, he adds nothing.

If you think his knowledge is bad in CSGO - a game he actually has played at an above average (compared to casuals) level, imagine seeing his nonsense in LOL - a game he doesn't understand at all.

Thorin is a good when he takes his ego away and just asks cohosts/guests questions. But in terms of analytical skills, he vastly overrates how smart he is.

I will, however, say that Richard Lewis makes even worse statements than Thorin. For some reason he thinks Tyloo is this super good team and Bntet a clear top 20 player after beating bad teams at the Asian Minor.

Or how VP should also just acquire AGO as that would make them relevant again or other stuff like how Refrezh is carrying Fragsters...

All of the above was said in one single episode of BytheNumbers. I would prefer if people just sticked to what they are good at instead of thinking they are experts at analyzing teams and players.

Exactly, i feel Lewis + Thorin are not doing what they should do, whatever that is considering i think they have no place nowadays

I mean, look at Machine, he is the host and he knows the game but he understands his knowledge is lower than say ynk, spunj and anders, etc..., so he tries to add some random stuff + entince conversation, just like redeye for example.

I also just realized that Thorin doesn't think Zywoo is good enough for French 2nd best team. Thorin's reasoning for not including him was that you don't often see from that level jump to the highest level. However, Zywoo is not your average FPL player. He is levels above everyone in the tier 3 EU scene.

Obviously you wouldn't pick a player that averaged a rating2 of 1.1 against bad teams and expect him perform at higher levels. However, a player averaging 1.4 rating2 at that level is better than the average player in a top 15 team.

Compared to Jugi who was a star-player for too long in Tricked and was someone I predicted to be the break-out player of 2017, Zywoo is significantly better than what Jugi was back then.

Not including him in your 2nd best french team shows a complete lack of understanding on how to evalute player skill.

And btw the buyout of 100k euro is a steal. As long as he is a good teammate and can speak english well, I would asses his actual market value of 300-400k euro.

(Btw you could definitely make a french team consisting of Zywoo, Apex, Nbk, Scream and whoever as 5th that would be significantly better than the current G2 team.... a team Thorin thought could be top 5 in the world(???)).
